They are engaging, opinionated and inspired to provide our listeners with the best all-sports talk radio station in the country, where fans everywhere will find live, compelling sports talk on their SIRIUS and XM radio 24 hours a day." The morning drive show, The First Word (6:00 - 10:00 am ET), is hosted by Gary Williams. Before joining Mad Dog Radio, Williams hosted the morning drive show on WFNZ Radio in Charlotte. He is also the play-by-play voice for preseason games on the Carolina Panthers Television Network and from 2005-06 was the host of the pre-game, halftime and post-game shows on the Charlotte Bobcats Television Network. He has been the play-by-play broadcaster for Big East basketball games on ESPN and has called college basketball and college football games on C-Set TV. From 2002-03 he hosted the college basketball show Gameday on ESPN Radio alongside Jay Bilas. Williams hosts the show from SIRIUS XM's New York City studios. Occupying the mid-day weekday time slot (10:00am - 2:00pm ET) is The 'B' Team, hosted by Bruce Murray and Bill Pidto. Murray has been a SIRIUS host since 2006, hosting the SIRIUS NFL Radio talk show The Red Zone alongside NFL greats Marty Schottenheimer, Randy Cross, Carl Banks and Gil Brandt.

Pidto comes to SIRIUS XM after a 15 year on-air career at ESPN where he anchored several shows including SportsCenter, Baseball Tonight, NFL PrimeTime and others. Prior to ESPN he worked as a sports anchor and reporter at New England Cable News in Boston, MA, and as a sportscaster at the NBC-TV affiliate in Syracuse, NY and the CBS-TV affiliates in Harrisburg, PA and Binghampton, NY.

  • DEON LEVINGSTON “National Get to Know Your Customer Day” on Thursday to Mount Its “Verizon Wireless Social
    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2015 Nielsen Takes Bubba To Court For PPM Influence. In what appears to be the first-ever case of its kind, Nielsen Audio has sued Bubba The Love Sponge in federal court over alleged ratings tampering. Filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Florida in Tampa, the civil action accuses the host (Todd Clem) and his Bubba Radio Network of fraud, conspiracy to defraud, violating the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Practices Act and interfering with business and contractual relations between Nielsen and Beasley Media Group, which airs his syndicated show in Tampa. It seeks at least $1 million. In the suit, Nielsen claims Clem met with the “cooperating panelist” multiple times in July and August, offering to pay $300 per month if the listener helped increase his ratings, up to $400 if a target ratings threshold was achieved. According to the Tampa Tribune, Clem sent texts to the panelist including one that read, “U have to PROMISE NOT TO SAY A WORD ... This could ruin me.” The suit describes the lengths Clem went to in an effort to artificially boost his ratings. He bought radios on Amazon.com and had them shipped to the panelist’s house, it claims, and advised the panelist on how to circumvent the PPM’s motion-sensing technology. “He described that by using certain tricks the Cooperating Panelist could make it appear that he was listening to Bubba Clem’s show even when the Cooperating Panelist was not carrying the PPM device,” the complaint states.
